PJ ~ you are so brave. Some of the bravest people I know were also scared out of their minds. Frankly, it would be unreasonable NOT to be afraid.
The medical team is going to take good care of you though. You are in good hands..visualize that.
Sending prayers and healing thoughts into the Pacific Ocean as I look southwest to Australia. They are in the current that ties us all together.

Much diff than surgery b4 Xms- that was a circus- preop assessments, 3-different dates in Unit, half a day tests preop- ECG etc, then later- surgery.
Including commute time- around 40 hours over4 weeks
The notification, admission, tests and surgery this time all done in 28 hours flat.
The anxiety (flashbacks etc) much worse than being here
I was given the 'airline hostess ' type talk on side effects, but this time mentioned strokes, death...and maybe needing to gouge out most of my little finger meat and putting a wire in. And maybe needing to do a deep skin harvest in the groin area- but alas, nay gentle readers- small graft near birthday dent, in until at least Monday
glad over

Very happy to hear you have a great nurse. Makes ALL the difference. More love, more healing vibes. More coffee.

The pic is blurred and my face screened for global security concerns...… the hand is swaddled in bandages, capsuled in a custom splint- guided into a padded collar and cuff sling..akey, but ok
Seeing as the donor site- about 2 x 4cm at least is in the inner thigh- that is being kept under cover for the reasons of stuff
thanks to all who are there for me, it has made a huge diff
this admit almost fun....

(((PJ))) "Almost fun"? Am I reading that right? 
Checking in and gotta stay close....after today I'll be in and outta town for the weekend but I'll need to keep my phone charged....I don't think it's hit me yet....too much anxiety and I've forgotten how to relax and have fun!
Startin' fluid for now

Love the photo. Glad you are almost having fun, PHX.
You can do this, Purps. You can have fun too. I think it will be awesome when you wake up on Monday and you can say, "I didn't drink and I enjoyed myself."
My best laughs, I have found, are when I am sober.
Have a great day, dear friends.
